Importing a sidebar from Wikispaces
Now that you are at MyWikis, welcome! Once your Wikispaces content has been imported, we know you will want to use your original sidebar from Wikispaces. To do, follow the below steps:
Go to "Spaces" and copy the content. An example of something in Spaces looks like this:
'''Home'''<br /> [[Home|Homepage]] '''Conferences'''<br /> 3rd Conference (link coming soon)<br /> [[Conference 2|2nd Conference]]<br /> [http://example.com/external/link 1st Conference]<br /> '''Related Links'''<br /> [http://github.com/example GitHub]<br /> [http://google.com Google]
Then go to MediaWiki:Sidebar. It will look like this by default:
* navigation ** mainpage|mainpage-description ** recentchanges-url|recentchanges ** randompage-url|randompage ** helppage|help * SEARCH * TOOLBOX * LANGUAGES
The final contents should look like this:
* navigation ** mainpage|mainpage-description ** recentchanges-url|recentchanges ** randompage-url|randompage ** helppage|help * Conferences ** Conference 3|3rd Conference (link coming soon) ** Conference 2|2nd Conference ** http://example.com/external/link|1st Conference * Related links ** http://github.com/example|GitHub ** http://google.com|Google * SEARCH * TOOLBOX * LANGUAGES
Modify the links as shown and put this new format on MediaWiki:Sidebar. Note that while Wikispaces allowed sidebar points without links, MediaWiki requires them. The sidebar should instantly update with your new content!
